Daniel Manning, 59, was once an errand boy in the office of the Albany Atlas, now the Argus. He became compositor, worked at the case with energy and was promoted to foreman. His ambition was not satisfied with this. He went into journalism and was made reporter on the paper with which he had been connected from childhood. Smart and pushing, he elbowed his way upward among the shrewd politicians of Albany. His chief, William Cassidy, looked upon him with favor and he rose rapidly in the estima- tion of Albany after he had shown 8 capacity for manipulating the vote of his county. In due time, when Mr.
 Cassidy had been gathered to his fathers, Mr. Manning succeeded him as president of the Argus company. Under his management the company prospered. They secured many fat contracts for printing and the purse of the president grew bulky. He also became president of leading bank. But it was as political manager that Mr. Manning grew more famous. Mr. Tilden recognized his abilities and in 1876 he was made member of the Democratic State committee. Their intimate relations continued until MT. Til den's death. It will be remembered that
 MT. Tilden addressed to Mr. Manning his famous letter in which he declined to be candidate in 1980 In 1882 MT. Manning was chosen chairman of the State committee.
 How energetically and shrewdly ke worked for Mir. Cleveland at the convention is so well known as to need no elaboration, efforts that were carried into the campaign, whose successful issue for his candidate and friend was largely attributable to him. He cele- brated the election of MT. Cleveland by con tracting a second mrrriage with a Miss Livingstone of t'the" Livingstones. Of his great ability in the cabinet, to which the President called him as secretary of the treasury, the plaudits of both parties bore witness when he retired something like year ago on account of psralytic stroke. His trip to Europe somewhat benefited his health, and he returned to engage in New York city banking enterprise with United States Treasurer Jordan, since which time he has been but little conspicuous in the papers. Although he has accomplished so much, death removes him at a time when his career seems cut off in incompleteness, giving promise. as it did, of continued great service to the country and the business world.

McKenna,a Great Rtlltard Plaz1ne.

BOSTON, Dec. 22.-The billiard match be- tween McKenna and Flames was completed at Bumstead Hall this evening. When play closed last night McKenna had run 3, ,497 and in resuming he carried the balls part of the way up the right rail, but they soon broke badly and he missed a seemingly easy cush- ion shot after making 75 and bringing his run to 2,572. For seven innings he played very poorly and then atoned for his poor play by gathering the worries and repeating their journey around the table until he had put up 2, 121 points more, making his total score 4, 715. Flames meanwhile could get in nothing better than IS and was st a total of 45 when McKenna failed, leaving the balls in position for an easy masse. This he missed and McKenna with the balls in good position ran the game out-2S5 points. Following is the score: McKenna-0, 3, 2,572, o, 9, 3, 3, 1, o, 4. 2,121, 2S5. Total 5000. Average 4162 3.

Speaker Carlisle Holds I'm Reserve His
 Selections to Escape Annoyance.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Speaker Carlisle did not announce the committees that he pected to have ready to-day. It was his de- sire to do so in the interest of business, but he was strongly advised against it upon the grounds that if he did so there would be 8 rush made on him at once by members who were not satisfied and he would fud it very difficult to construct the rest of his commit tees. The embarrassment caused him by the selection of the election committeebefore the rest were announced influenced him in this matter somewhat. While there were many members who would not under any circum- stances intrude upon him to seek desirable assignments, some are most persistent and fmportunate in pressing their claims. It is understood that Messrs. Cox, Turner and Gay will be the new Democratic members of l the ways and means committee.

WILDER WEATHER HIN KANSAS

The Backbone of the Blizzard Broken Accounts of Death and Suffering From the Cold Much Exaggerated, KANSAS CTTY, Dec. 22.-The weather con- l tinues to moderate in this city and in the is twenty-three degrees above and is slowly rising. Encouraging reports are coming in from the West which go far to remove the impression which seems to have gone out
 that there is extreme suffering in Kansas
 from lack of food and fuel While there
 have undoubtedly been isolated cases of
 death from exposure and instances of indi-
 vidual suffering from scarcity of provisions or coal, there is no doubt that the condition
 of affairs has been greatly exaggerated and misrepresented by irresponsible persons A dispatch tonight from Arkansas City near the Indian territory line says that less than one inch of snow fell there and that there has been no suffering whatever and adds that the people of Arkansis City would be glad to send presents to their eastern friends if the latter will make known their individual necessities. Clark county, Kansas, which has been reported as being the region where the most suffering prevails, sends an emphatic denial of the story to the Tines tonight. The storm abated Tuesday,
 While there was 8 strong wind only four inches of snow fell and the thermometer did not go below zero. No loss of life is reported throughout the county.
 The following dispatch to the Associated Press from Hutchinson in the south central portion of the State was received tonight 'sThe only effect of the cold snap at this place has been to stop work on the many buildings now being erected. There is plenty of coal here and there has been no scarcity this season. Special despatches to the News from points within radius of 8 hundred miles indicate that there has been no unusual suffering from cold. We have no ad- vices of any scarcity of food or fuel. The backbone of the blizzard is broken and to-day was bright and sunshine"
 GARDEN CITY, Kan, Dec. 22.-ln conver- sation with representatives of eleven counties of southwest Kansas the Sentinel to-day learned that in those counties there had been usually experienced by people who are pro- vided against such emergencies by clothing, food and fuel. No deaths have been reported from cold and the people are well provided with food and fuel. The coal famine has come to an end. The Sentinel of this city has correspondents in twelve counties from whom it hears regularly and it can state au- thoritatiyely that in the counties of Scott, Wichita, Greeley, Hamilton, Kearney, Finney, Haskell, Grant, Stan ton, Morton, Stevens, Seward, Gray and Garfield there has been no more suffer- ing than the usual inconvenience from cold in any community.

To Save Life

Frequently requires prompt action. An hours delay waiting for the doctor may be attended with serious consequences, especially in cases of Group. Pneumonia, and other threat and lung troubles. Hence, no family should be without bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectorai, which has proved itself, in thousands of cases, the best Emergency Medicine ever discovered. It gives prompt relief and prepares the way for a thorough cure, which is certain to be effected by it's continued use.
 s. H. Latimer, M. D., Mt. Vernon, Ga, says: " I have found Ayers Cherry Pectoral perfect cure for Group in all cases. I have known the worst cases relieved in a very short time by it's use; and advise all families to use it in sud- den emergencies, for coughs, croup, &c."
